What happens when a gap opens up between us and someone else?

At this week’s Connect, Create and Celebrate service, Jack Curham and Rachel Coe explored the difficult but hopeful theme of reconciliation. Together we thought about the emotions that come with repairing a relationship, why Jesus calls us to go directly to one another, and how truth and love have to work together if a relationship is to heal.

We also heard an important reminder that reconciliation is not about pretending nothing happened, and that rebuilding trust can take time. Sometimes we need help. Sometimes the other person is not ready. What matters is taking responsibility for the steps that belong to us.

At the heart of the Christian story is a God who made the first move towards us — and who calls us to do the same.

Watch and join us in asking: where might we be called to take one step across the gap?

For the final conversation in our summer series, Tim Crapper talks with Mark and Tricia Thomas — and their story is full of surprises. From childhood faith in 1950s Edgware, to Billy Graham at Wembley, to the renewal movement, house groups, music, lifelong friendships and even a career change from IBM to the probation service, this is a warm and fascinating conversation about where faith can lead over a lifetime.
There are lovely details along the way: a packed living room that turned into a house group, new worship songs finding their way into church life, and a quiet but powerful sense of what it means to live as a witness for Christ.
A rich and thoughtful ending to His Story, Our Story, Our Song — do watch.

Throughout the summer months, we love welcoming visitors for afternoon teas at St Marys and on a couple of occasions, we have been very lucky to have Maisie Randall join us with her beautiful singing.

We have two more afternoon teas this year on the 6th and 27th September from 2:30pm-4:30pm and would love to see you for some delicious cake and tea.

You might not expect a Sunday morning faith conversation to include The Clash, The Jam, The Damned, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Romantics, and a trip to see David Bowie - but this week’s summer series does exactly that.

In His Story, Our Story, Our Song, Sarah Frost talks with Johanna Free about a lifelong Christian faith that never meant giving up being herself. Johanna reflects on growing up in a Christian home, discovering supportive church communities, and having parents who let her explore punk and New Romantic culture while staying grounded in faith.

It’s a warm, honest and sometimes surprising conversation about individuality, grace, family, and learning to ask not “What would I do?” but “What would Jesus do?”

For tomorrow's afternoon tea, we have Maisie Randall singing live for us again.
Do come and join us for some delicious cakes and tea while enjoying Maisie's beautiful voice in the sun.

This week in our summer series His Story, Our Story, Our Song, David Blackmore is in conversation with Rachel Coe.

Rachel’s story moves from a childhood shaped by village church life, nature and music, through professional musical theatre and teaching, to pastoral care, family life and renewed involvement in church.
She talks movingly about the way music has helped her understand and experience faith — from singing Handel’s Messiah as a child to performing in Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar — and about the reassurance she finds in Lord of All Hopefulness and the words of Ecclesiastes: there is a time for everything.

A lovely conversation about music, vocation, anxiety and reassurance, caring for others, and discovering how the different strands of a life can come together in unexpected ways.
